Have you ever been worried about the final result for your build? It is week 6 on my first build and i'm getting an unrealistic fear that my guitar will be ugly looking LOL ! Aries 7 with poplar burl top. These tops seems to vary WILDLY.

My experience would be with my #3 DC7X. I'd been toying with the idea of spec-ing a "something different" guitar. What made me jump was that by some freak of luck, the Labor Day special offers in 2016 miraculously aligned with the "different" specs I had been thinking, allowing me to save a further $197 off the anticipated price.

All through the ~8 week wait I worried that I'd pick it up, enjoy the craftsmanship but not really "take" to it, and end up hardly ever playing it.

In reality it completely changed what I thought was my ideal spec. I am now a maple fretboard convert - something all my subsequent builds have (& all future planned ones will have).

I think the guitar must have made an impression in the factory because it's appeared twice on Facebook...

There are some woods I wouldn't order because the only way to get ones I know I will like would be to pay even more to have a piece hand-selected...and even then, they pick from what they have. For those, I might have to get lucky one morning on a "pick your top tuesday" video. But, there are lots of woods that I know I'll like no matter what I get, or at least I fall in the 98th percentile, and have no problem ordering sign-unseen.

Thanks for the psychological support . My main concern is mostly the finish, the wood and the feeling of the thin neck with the 20'' radius.. but I've been so used to an old rg7620 with the 17'' radius... I guess I won't see a difference really.
